ok will test again, is the correct value "1" in seconds or 1000 in ms?.
Thanks again for your work. Adb tuner has never been better 
It’s in seconds. 3 is the default value. It’s currently limited to integers so no floats/decimals. I can change that if needed.
This is another great addition and one that has a practical use for me. I just replaced both my Onn 4K boxes with Plus models. Having the same hardware performances across the stack makes automation reliable. I was just thinking yesterday what a shame it was to retire the regular 4Ks as they work fine for other apps, but are less predictable if they get called for the NBC app. Now they can stay in rotation with just the apps that work!

In my short test 1 did not work, but 2 seems fine so far

Got a chance to test today the new update. Isolated a single app to a set of Onn 4K boxes. Only that App tuned. I will keep you all posted.
Has anyone ever attempted to use ADBTuner with the Astound IPTV app? Just curious. The app seems to be built on the TiVo foundation if that makes a difference.
Why would you use ADBTuner for this app when you can just directly insert the streams into channels.
jjThe only reason we even use the boxes would be to strip DRM.
If DRM isn't be stripped, no reason to use. The use of Channels with a proper m3u manager will always do better.
I think Astound is a traditional cable provider. Used to be called RCN?
I'm not aware of anyone trying to figure out if their app supports deep links or can be automated in any way.
I'm new to this so maybe I'm being obtuse here, but as far as I know the Astound app doesn't use M3U playlists so how are you suggesting the streams be inserted into Channels?
If your service uses a domain with user password and domain, it could probably work if you have a tool like m3u-editor
Stream Link manager acts like the bridge between all my options including the dockers and ADB Tuner.
Have you tried creating Astound as a TVE source with your username and password credentials? I think that might be what he's getting at, not sure.
I have Hotwire which is an IPTV provider that has all the popular channels, and I can get most of them via TVE. The locals I have to get in a variety of different ways like with the NBC app, they're not available directly.
Their apps also use TiVo software as a base.
I have been using the FHD version of the Chromecast with Google TV (2 of them actually) for quite a while now (feels like well over a year for sure) with no issues. Just last weekend, they stopped responding to ADB over the network. no idea why. I had this set up in my office, so I brought them home and set up a VM to run channels and ADBTuner. Same issue, so started using a spare FireTV 4k stick and an older Nvidia Shield, which both worked, sorta.
After some time, usually hours, when I try to open a stream, it times out. When I use VLC to check the encoder, it is playing YouTube TV, which is a problem because I don't want to waste my limited bandwidth at home.
Is there anything I can do to troubleshoot this? Once I shut down YouTube TV, then everything starts working normally again until it sets for a while again.
I have 4 CCwgTV 4K devices that in the past couple weeks have all updated to android 14. This has disabled ADBTuner's ability to establish a connection to use ADB. This is not an ADBTuner problem it is a change that Google has made to using ADB. Maybe check if your devices have updated to android 14.
Edit; In ADBTuner this shows up with the "Endpoint Connection Successful" but "Android Connection Failed"
Edit 2; Also I can confirm the ONN 4K Pro and new ONN 4K Plus are working with android 14. I believe even the ONN 4K works. These are options to replace CCwgTV with. I personally use the ONN 4K Pros with android 14 and I know others really like the new ONN 4K Plus with android 14. The new plus is wifi only while the Pro includes an ethernet port. I personally like the Pros because I use physical ethernet but they are a little slower processor than the new Plus. Rumors are there is a new upgraded Pro coming sometime which will probably have the faster processor when it does. No timeline on that.

I use the Onn 4k Pro as my normal Streaming devices (not with ADBTuner) - my only wish is that they had 1 Gb ethernet instead of 100 Mb.
With that said, I have 2 boxes that are working (as mentioned, a FireTV Stick and a Nvidia Shield), but they seem to time out. I did set in developer settings to never turn off the display, and it is now not going to screen saver, so I am hoping that maybe that will help.
It very well may have been the Shield that was causing my issue. I forgot I had one of the new Google Streaming boxes, and it works after all the updates, and seems to work well. I will try again in a few hours to make sure it continues to work.
sigh. now they sometimes just don't stop the stream. no idea what I am doing wrong.
What channels are not stopping? I had to use compatibility mode to get them to stop for MAX, Peacock and Paramount channels. My YTTV work fine. I am also running the development version of ADBTuner because there have been some updates with it to help with closing out channels.
Edit; I'm currently running adbtuner version 20250810-2 which is the latest for development.
YTTV. Where do you get the developer version?
Edit: Found the developer version, but it didn't make a difference. Tried the Google Streaming box and a FTV Stick. Both will stop the first time (90% sure), but neither stops playback after that, and the tuner is listed as in use in the web dashboard. Sometimes I can click release lock and it will work next time, and sometimes I can't (it just spins).
Every time I've seen an app not close on tune ending, it required compatibility mode to make it work.
I was fairly confident I had tried that many times, but I tried changing 2 channels back to compatibility mode, and it made no difference. The first stream worked, then when I stopped it and tried to start the other channel it failed to load. In this case the stream did actually stop, but the web interface said the tuner was still locked and it wouldn't release.
I am wondering if it is because I am on a VM for Channels for some reason. I am going to take it back to my office tomorrow and put it back on the physical hardware I was using there now that I have 2 streaming devices that seem to work. See if that makes a difference.
